Seven Bucks Productions, the production firm headed by Dwayne Johnson, has committed not to utilize actual weapons in any of its future productions in the wake of the unfortunate murder of cameraman Halyna Hutchins in the film “Rust.”
“I can’t answer for anyone else, but I can tell you that any movie that Seven Bucks Productions has in the works — any movie, any television program, or anything we make or produce — we won’t utilize actual firearms at all,” he told Variety.
We must “learn from this” catastrophe, Johnson added, and figure out how to “go on in a better way.”
Johnson was “heartbroken” when he learned of Hutchins’ death, which occurred on the set of “Rust” on Oct. 21 when Alec Baldwin shot a pretend gun holding a live shell. Hutchins died as a result of the bullet, while Joel Souza, the film’s director, was wounded.
The incident on the set of “Rust” is currently being investigated by police.
